Inpatient Hemodialysis Now Available
We are now offering inpatient hemodialysis for patients who are battling kidney disease, acute renal failure, or volume overload while in inpatient status. This is an effort to keep patients and their families in the community by avoiding being transferred out for their hemodialysis needs. We are excited to be able to offer this service. Registered Nurses Dana Ingram and Brigitte Zeigler are leading this effort.
For questions about the CHRISTUS Mother Frances – Sulphur Springs Inpatient Dialysis Program please contact Dana Ingram at 903-438-4409 or dana.ingram@christushealth.org
